7) The 0.7C increase in the
average global temperature over the last hundred years is entirely
consistent with well-established, long-term, natural climate trends.

8) The IPCC theory is driven by just 60 scientists and favourable reviewers not the 4,000 usually cited.

9) Leaked e-mails from British
climate scientists – in a scandal known as “Climate-gate” - suggest
that that has been manipulated to exaggerate global warming

10) A large body of scientific
research suggests that the sun is responsible for the greater share of
climate change during the past hundred years.

11) Politicians and activiists
claim rising sea levels are a direct cause of global warming but sea
levels rates have been increasing steadily since the last ice age
10,000 ago

12) Philip Stott, Emeritus
Professor of Biogeography at the School of Oriental and African Studies
in London says climate change is too complicated to be caused by just
one factor, whether CO2 or clouds

13) Peter Lilley MP said last
month that “fewer people in Britain than in any other country believe
in the importance of global warming. That is despite the fact that our
Government and our political class—predominantly—are more committed to
it than their counterparts in any other country in the world”.

14) In pursuit of the global warming rhetoric, wind farms will do very little to nothing to reduce CO2 emissions

15) Professor Plimer, Professor
of Geology and Earth Sciences at the University of Adelaide, stated
that the idea of taking a single trace gas in the atmosphere, accusing
it and finding it guilty of total responsibility for climate change, is
an “absurdity”

16) A Harvard University
astrophysicist and geophysicist, Willie Soon, said he is “embarrassed
and puzzled” by the shallow science in papers that support the
proposition that the earth faces a climate crisis caused by global
warming.

17) The science of what determines the earth’s temperature is in fact far from settled or understood.

18) Despite activist concerns
over CO2 levels, CO2 is a minor greenhouse gas, unlike water vapour
which is tied to climate concerns, and which we can’t even pretend to
control

19) A petition by scientists
trying to tell the world that the political and media portrayal of
global warming is false was put forward in the Heidelberg Appeal in
1992. Today, more than 4,000 signatories, including 72 Nobel Prize
winners, from 106 countries have signed it.

20) It is claimed the average
global temperature increased at a dangerously fast rate in the 20th
century but the recent rate of average global temperature rise has been
between 1 and 2 degrees C per century - within natural rates

21) Professor Zbigniew
Jaworowski, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Central
Laboratory for Radiological Protection in Warsaw, Poland says the
earth’s temperature has more to do with cloud cover and water vapor
than CO2 concentration in the atmosphere.

22) There is strong evidence
from solar studies which suggests that the Earth’s current temperature
stasis will be followed by climatic cooling over the next few decades

23) It is myth that receding
glaciers are proof of global warming as glaciers have been receding and
growing cyclically for many centuries

24) It is a falsehood that the
earth’s poles are warming because that is natural variation and while
the western Arctic may be getting somewhat warmer we also see that the
Eastern Arctic and Greenland are getting colder

25) The IPCC claims climate
driven “impacts on biodiversity are significant and of key relevance”
but those claims are simply not supported by scientific research

26) The IPCC threat of climate
change to the world’s species does not make sense as wild species are
at least one million years old, which means they have all been through
hundreds of climate cycles

27) Research goes strongly
against claims that CO2-induced global warming would cause catastrophic
disintegration of the Greenland and Antarctic Ice Sheets.

28) Despite activist concerns
over CO2 levels, rising CO2 levels are our best hope of raising crop
yields to feed an ever-growing population

29) The biggest climate change ever experienced on earth took place around 700 million years ago

30) The slight increase in
temperature which has been observed since 1900 is entirely consistent
with well-established, long-term natural climate cycles

32) Accurate satellite, balloon
and mountain top observations made over the last three decades have not
shown any significant change in the long term rate of increase in
global temperatures

33) Today’s CO2 concentration
of around 385 ppm is very low compared to most of the earth’s history –
we actually live in a carbon-deficient atmosphere

34) It is a myth that CO2 is
the most common greenhouse gas because greenhouse gases form about 3%
of the atmosphere by volume, and CO2 constitutes about 0.037% of the
atmosphere

35) It is a myth that computer
models verify that CO2 increases will cause significant global warming
because computer models can be made to “verify” anything

36) There is no scientific or
statistical evidence whatsoever that global warming will cause more
storms and other weather extremes

37) One statement deleted from
a UN report in 1996 stated that “none of the studies cited above has
shown clear evidence that we can attribute the observed climate changes
to increases in greenhouse gases”

38) The world “warmed” by 0.07 +/- 0.07 degrees C from 1999 to 2008, not the 0.20 degrees C expected by the IPCC

39) The Intergovernmental Panel
on Climate Change says “it is likely that future tropical cyclones
(typhoons and hurricanes) will become more intense” but there has been
no increase in the intensity or frequency of tropical cyclones globally

40) Rising CO2 levels in the
atmosphere can be shown not only to have a negligible effect on the
Earth’s many ecosystems, but in some cases to be a positive help to
many organisms

41) Researchers who compare and
contrast climate change impact on civilizations found warm periods are
beneficial to mankind and cold periods harmful

42) The Met Office asserts we
are in the hottest decade since records began but this is precisely
what the world should expect if the climate is cyclical

43) Rising CO2 levels increase plant growth and make plants more resistant to drought and pests

44) The historical increase in the air’s CO2 content has improved human nutrition by raising crop yields during the past 150 years

45) The increase of the air’s
CO2 content has probably helped lengthen human lifespans since the
beginning of the Industrial Revolution

46) The IPCC alleges that
“climate change currently contributes to the global burden of disease
and premature deaths” but the evidence shows that higher temperatures
and rising CO2 levels has helped global populations

47) In May of 2004, the Russian
Academy of Sciences published a report concluding that the Kyoto
Protocol has no scientific grounding at all.

48) The “Climate-gate” scandal
pointed to a expensive public campaign of disinformation and the
denigration of scientists who opposed the belief that CO2 emissions
were causing climate change

49) The head of Britain’s
climate change watchdog has predicted households will need to spend up
to £15,000 on a full energy efficiency makeover if the Government is to
meet its ambitious targets for cutting carbon emissions.

50) Wind power is unlikely to
be the answer to our energy needs. The wind power industry argues that
there are “no direct subsidies” but it involves a total subsidy of as
much as £60 per MWh which falls directly on electricity consumers. This
burden will grow in line with attempts to achieve Wind power targets,
according to a recent OFGEM report.

51) Wind farms are not an
efficient way to produce energy. The British Wind Energy Association
(BWEA) accepts a figure of 75 per cent back-up power is required.

52) Global temperatures are below the low end of IPCC predictions not at “at the top end of IPCC estimates”

53) Climate alarmists have
raised the concern over acidification of the oceans but Tom Segalstad
from Oslo University in Norway , and others, have noted that the
composition of ocean water – including CO2, calcium, and water – can
act as a buffering agent in the acidification of the oceans.

54) The UN’s IPCC computer
models of human-caused global warming predict the emergence of a
“hotspot” in the upper troposphere over the tropics. Former researcher
in the Australian Department of Climate Change, David Evans, said there
is no evidence of such a hotspot

55) The argument that climate
change is a of result of global warming caused by human activity is the
argument of flat Earthers.

56) The manner in which US
President Barack Obama sidestepped Congress to order emission cuts
shows how undemocratic and irrational the entire international
decision-making process has become with regards to emission-target
setting.

57) William Kininmonth, a
former head of the National Climate Centre and a consultant to the
World Meteorological Organisation, wrote “the likely extent of global
temperature rise from a doubling of CO2 is less than 1C. Such warming
is well within the envelope of variation experienced during the past
10,000 years and insignificant in the context of glacial cycles during
the past million years, when Earth has been predominantly very cold and
covered by extensive ice sheets.”

58) Canada has shown the world
targets derived from the existing Kyoto commitments were always
unrealistic and did not work for the country.

59) In the lead up to the
Copenhagen summit, David Davis MP said of previous climate summits, at
Rio de Janeiro in 1992 and Kyoto in 1997 that many had promised greater
cuts, but “neither happened”, but we are continuing along the same
lines.

60) The UK ’s environmental
policy has a long-term price tag of about £55 billion, before taking
into account the impact on its economic growth.

61) The UN’s panel on climate
change warned that Himalayan glaciers could melt to a fifth of current
levels by 2035. J. Graham Cogley a professor at Ontario Trent
University, claims this inaccurate stating the UN authors got the date
from an earlier report wrong by more than 300 years.

62) Under existing Kyoto
obligations the EU has attempted to claim success, while actually
increasing emissions by 13 per cent, according to Lord Lawson. In
addition the EU has pursued this scheme by purchasing “offsets” from
countries such as China paying them billions of dollars to destroy
atmospheric pollutants, such as CFC-23, which were manufactured purely
in order to be destroyed.

63) It is claimed that the
average global temperature was relatively unchanging in pre-industrial
times but sky-rocketed since 1900, and will increase by several degrees
more over the next 100 years according to Penn State University
researcher Michael Mann. There is no convincing empirical evidence that
past climate was unchanging, nor that 20th century changes in average
global temperature were unusual or unnatural.

64) Michael Mann of Penn
State University has actually shown that the Medieval Warm Period and
the Little Ice Age did in fact exist, which contrasts with his earlier
work which produced the “hockey stick graph” which showed a constant
temperature over the past thousand years or so followed by a recent
dramatic upturn.

65) The globe’s current
approach to climate change in which major industrialised countries
agree to nonsensical targets for their CO2 emissions by a given date,
as it has been under the Kyoto system, is very expensive.

66) The “Climate-gate”
scandal revealed that a scientific team had emailed one another about
using a “trick” for the sake of concealing a “decline” in temperatures
when looking at the history of the Earth’s temperature.

67) Global temperatures have
not risen in any statistically-significant sense for 15 years and have
actually been falling for nine years. The “Climate-gate” scandal
revealed a scientific team had expressed dismay at the fact global
warming was contrary to their predictions and admitted their inability
to explain it was “a travesty”.

68) The IPCC predicts that a
warmer planet will lead to more extreme weather, including drought,
flooding, storms, snow, and wildfires. But over the last century,
during which the IPCC claims the world experienced more rapid warming
than any time in the past two millennia, the world did not experience
significantly greater trends in any of these extreme weather events.

69) In explaining the average
temperature standstill we are currently experiencing, the Met Office
Hadley Centre ran a series of computer climate predictions and found in
many of the computer runs there were decade-long standstills but none
for 15 years – so it expects global warming to resume swiftly.

70) Richard Lindzen,
Professor of Atmospheric Sciences at Massachusetts Institute of
Technology, wrote: “The notion of a static, unchanging climate is
foreign to the history of the Earth or any other planet with a fluid
envelope. Such hysteria (over global warming) simply represents the
scientific illiteracy of much of the public, the susceptibility of the
public to the substitution of repetition for truth.”

71) Despite the 1997 Kyoto Protocol’s status as the flagship of the fight against climate change it has been a failure.

72) The first phase of the
EU’s Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), which ran from 2005 to 2007 was a
failure. Huge over-allocation of permits to pollute led to a collapse
in the price of carbon from €33 to just €0.20 per tonne meaning the
system did not reduce emissions at all.

73) The EU trading scheme, to
manage carbon emissions has completely failed and actually allows
European businesses to duck out of making their emissions reductions at
home by offsetting, which means paying for cuts to be made overseas
instead.

74) To date “cap and trade” carbon markets have done almost nothing to reduce emissions.

75) In the United States ,
the cap-and-trade is an approach designed to control carbon emissions
and will impose huge costs upon American citizens via a carbon tax on
all goods and services produced in the United States. The average
family of four can expect to pay an additional $1700, or £1,043, more
each year. It is predicted that the United States will lose more than 2
million jobs as the result of cap-and-trade schemes.

76) Dr Roy Spencer, a
principal research scientist at the University of Alabama in
Huntsville, has indicated that out of the 21 climate models tracked by
the IPCC the differences in warming exhibited by those models is mostly the
result of different strengths of positive cloud feedback – and that
increasing CO2 is insufficient to explain global-average warming in the
last 50 to 100 years.

77) Why should politicians
devote our scarce resources in a globally competitive world to a false
and ill-defined problem, while ignoring the real problems the entire
planet faces, such as: poverty, hunger, disease or terrorism.

78) A proper analysis of ice
core records from the past 650,000 years demonstrates that temperature
increases have come before, and not resulted from, increases in CO2 by
hundreds of years.

79) Since the cause of global
warming is mostly natural, then there is in actual fact very little we
can do about it. (We are still not able to control the sun).

80) A substantial number of the
panel of 2,500 climate scientists on the United Nation’s International
Panel on Climate Change, which created a statement on scientific
unanimity on climate change and man-made global warming, were found to
have serious concerns.

81) The UK’s Met Office has
been forced this year to re-examine 160 years of temperature data after
admitting that public confidence in the science on man-made global
warming has been shattered by revelations about the data.

82) Politicians and activists
push for renewable energy sources such as wind turbines under the
rhetoric of climate change, but it is essentially about money – under
the system of Renewable Obligations. Much of the money is paid for by
consumers in electricity bills. It amounts to £1 billion a year.

83) The “Climate-gate” scandal
revealed that a scientific team had tampered with their own data so as
to conceal inconsistencies and errors.

84) The “Climate-gate” scandal
revealed that a scientific team had campaigned for the removal of a
learned journal’s editor, solely because he did not share their
willingness to debase science for political purposes.

85) Ice-core data clearly show
that temperatures change centuries before concentrations of atmospheric
CO2 change. Thus, there appears to be little evidence for insisting
that changes in concentrations of CO2 are the cause of past temperature
and climate change.

86) There are no experimentally
verified processes explaining how CO2 concentrations can fall in a few
centuries without falling temperatures – in fact it is changing
temperatures which cause changes in CO2 concentrations, which is
consistent with experiments that show CO2 is the atmospheric gas most
readily absorbed by water.

87) The Government’s Renewable
Energy Strategy contains a massive increase in electricity generation
by wind power costing around £4 billion a year over the next twenty
years. The benefits will be only £4 to £5 billion overall (not per
annum). So costs will outnumber benefits by a range of between eleven
and seventeen times.

88) Whilst CO2 levels have
indeed changed for various reasons, human and otherwise, just as they
have throughout history, the CO2 content of the atmosphere has
increased since the beginning of the industrial revolution, and the
growth rate has now been constant for the past 25 years.

89) It is a myth that CO2 is a
pollutant, because nitrogen forms 80% of our atmosphere and human
beings could not live in 100% nitrogen either: CO2 is no more a
pollutant than nitrogen is and CO2 is essential to life.

90) Politicians and climate
activists make claims to rising sea levels but certain members in the
IPCC chose an area to measure in Hong Kong that is subsiding. They used
the record reading of 2.3 mm per year rise of sea level.

91) The accepted global
average temperature statistics used by the Intergovernmental Panel on
Climate Change show that no ground-based warming has occurred since
1998.

92) If one factors in
non-greenhouse influences such as El Nino events and large volcanic
eruptions, lower atmosphere satellite-based temperature measurements
show little, if any, global warming since 1979, a period over which
atmospheric CO2 has increased by 55 ppm (17 per cent).

93) US President Barack Obama
pledged to cut emissions by 2050 to equal those of 1910 when there were
92 million Americans. In 2050, there will be 420 million Americans, so
Obama’s promise means that emissions per head will be approximately
what they were in 1875. It simply will not happen.

94) The European Union has
already agreed to cut emissions by 20 percent to 2020, compared with
1990 levels, and is willing to increase the target to 30 percent.
However, these are unachievable and the EU has already massively failed
with its Emissions Trading Scheme (ETS), as EU emissions actually rose
by 0.8 percent from 2005 to 2006 and are known to be well above the
Kyoto goal.

95) Australia has stated it
wants to slash greenhouse emissions by up to 25 percent below 2000
levels by 2020, but the pledges were so unpopular that the country’s
Senate has voted against the carbon trading Bill, and the Opposition’s
Party leader has now been ousted by a climate change sceptic.

96) Canada plans to reduce
emissions by 20 percent compared with 2006 levels by 2020, representing
approximately a 3 percent cut from 1990 levels but it simultaneously
defends its Alberta tar sands emissions and its record as one of the
world’s highest per-capita emissions setters.

97) India plans to reduce the
ratio of emissions to production by 20-25 percent compared with 2005
levels by 2020, but all Government officials insist that since India
has to grow for its development and poverty alleviation, it has to
emit, because the economy is driven by carbon.

98) The Leipzig Declaration in
1996, was signed by 110 scientists who said: “We – along with many of
our fellow citizens – are apprehensive about the climate treaty
conference scheduled for Kyoto, Japan, in December 1997” and “based on
all the evidence available to us, we cannot subscribe to the
politically inspired world view that envisages climate catastrophes and
calls for hasty actions.”

99) A US Oregon Petition
Project stated “We urge the United States government to reject the
global warming agreement that was written in Kyoto, Japan in December,
1997, and any other similar proposals. The proposed limits on
greenhouse gases would harm the environment, hinder the advance of
science and technology, and damage the health and welfare of mankind.
There is no convincing scientific evidence that human release of CO2,
methane, or other greenhouse gasses is causing or will, in the
foreseeable future, cause catastrophic heating of the Earth’s
atmosphere and disruption of the Earth’s climate.”

100) A report by the
Nongovernmental International Panel on Climate Change concluded “We
find no support for the IPCC’s claim that climate observations during
the twentieth century are either unprecedented or provide evidence of
an anthropogenic effect on climate.”
